What is a Graduate Certificate of Applied Management?

Torrens University Australia’s Graduate Certificate of Applied Management (GCAM) is designed for organisations that want to grow high-performing teams and support employees to become future managers in C-suite roles.

Focusing on management and leadership skills, this customisable corporate management qualification relies on action- or project-based learning to target and enhance professional capabilities. Consulting with our experts, organisations can tailor the program to meet specific business objectives, improve team performance and fast-track employees’ progression into more senior roles.

Torrens University’s GCAM incorporates objectives specific to your organisation, offering a bespoke learning experience through genuine work-based briefs and challenges. As part of the Advanced Business Practice Project, participants contribute to a high-value assignment your business is focused on, learning in context and emerging as considered decision-makers that add value to your organisation.

Participants will engage in ongoing self-assessment and self-directed learning, encouraging continuous professional development and managerial evolution.

If you’re aiming to upskill top leadership, first-level managers or intermediate supervisors, Torrens University’s GCAM can be tailored to offer the insight and tools your employees need to advance their professional development, navigate organisational culture, facilitate change and lead with confidence. Our facilitators will consult with relevant internal personnel to ascertain your business drivers, strategic direction and key objectives, and will establish a thorough understanding of your organisation’s working culture and environment.
